So instead of printing a cheap yearbook, we omitted it entirely and printed a little six-page bi¬ weekly paper called the Scarboronim. This year we are putting the pictures and periscope for the Class of 1933 in the Alumni Department. We have also tried to improve all of the departments, so that after our forced vacation of a year, our readers will get a book enough ' better to make up for the omitted year. C. W. A. IN SCARBORO The t, V. A. to some people is just talk, as they are unable to see the work done by it. But anyone who has lieen inside of the Oak Hill Grammar School before and after they worked there will realize what a great deal of work and what a fine quality of work has been done through the C. W. A. In the other grade THE FOUR CORNERS 7 schools they have performed many needed repairs, such as rcshingling the roof, etc. In the high school they have sound¬ proofed several of the rooms. They have also painted some rooms that have not been previously painted and have also repainted other rooms. They have done the exterior painting on the high school and have graded the south and west lawns. The money that they were able to pro¬ cure for use on the roads through the 0. W. A. has been apportioned among the three districts in the town. All this has not only made it possible to accomplish the needed repairs, but it has also put many people to work. A mural scene depicting Dunstan as a ship building center is being painted by Otho Baker, ' 18, for the back wall in the main room of the high school. SETTING AN EXAMPLE FOR THE FRESHMEN One of the chief duties and privileges of the Senior is setting a good example for the Freshmen. Although we do not realize it sometimes, the Freshmen look up to us Seniors as examples of perfect pupils. Imagine the amazement of a somewhat bewildered Freshman when he sees a “dig¬ nified” Senior scale over the hack of a seat, making a perfect landing, but nevertheless lowering his “dignity.” Of course, when a Senior puts a tack in someone’s seat he means no harm, but this act is not a very constructive lesson for anyone who is watching every movement for instructions. Another habit which has become very prev¬ alent in school this year is the habit of chewing gum. Although there is nothing absolutely wrong in this practice, still it is frowned upon by good society and does lower the dignity of the school. If one were to judge by actions, it would some¬ times be hard to distinguish the Seniors from the Freshmen as they emerge from the classroom. These things are done thoughtlessly, but if we realize how much we really do in¬ fluence underclassmen, we would think twice before doing many of the things which we do. There is the saying, “When you are in Rome do as the Romans do.” In reality people follow this rule much more than we realize. We must remember that our ex¬ ample may determine the high or low standard of the school in future years. AN APPRECIATION The sincere thanks of the Editorial Board of the Four Corners and the stu¬ dent body of Scarboro High is extended to our advertisers. Over two hundred people have purchased advertising space in our book this year. How, readers of the Four Corners, don’t forget to read the adver¬ tising section just as thoroughly as you do the other departments, and after you have seen just who our loyal supporters are, PLEASE PATRONIZE THEM.

DRIVER The scene of these happenings might have been laid on any highway in the world, but to be specific we shall take the stretch of highway running from Boston to Portland. It is a very fine piece of roadway, but to enjoy it one should drive over it slowly so as to appreciate the beau¬ tiful pine-clad hills and the interminable vistas of the sea. Mr. Driver, a traveling agent for a Boston firm, made one round trip each week between the above-mentioned cities. He had one thing that marred his other¬ wise happy existence: his car. not a very late model, was pitifully lacking in speed, and this caused him much trouble, making him an envious and rather cynical man. He had often said that he would do almost anything if he could only have a decent car. This was the state of things when the story begins. Mr. Driver was making his weekly trip to Portland. It was in the middle of the night, and Mr. Driver was in a particularly evil humor, for he was hours late. Just as he reached the center of the marsh, which lies about seven miles from Portland, one of his tires blew out. This was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Mr. Driver’s blood pressure rose and the words began to flow. He raved and he cursed, lie ran through his exten¬ sive vocabulary and was running back at full speed when he noticed that he was not alone. Sitting on the running board of his car was an odd-looking personage. For the most part, this man was black, not the glistening black of a negro, but a dull, sooty black that seemed to be the accumu¬ lation of ages. As one could easily tell from his sooty appearance, it was Satan himself who was sitting there with a bliss¬ ful expression on his face. When Mr. Driver caught sight of his visitor, he stopped in amazement, but Old Nick exclaimed, “Oh! don’t stop. It ' s been years since I’ve heard such an abb conversationalist.” Expressions indicating conflicting emotions pursued each other across the countenance of Mr. Driver, but an expression of sublime delight soon su¬ perseded the rest. At last he had found a sympathetic listener to whom he could pour out all his woes. He started to talk, and when the east began to lighten with the coming of the dawn, he was still talk¬ ing. His visitor noticed the near approach of day, and after telling Mr. Driver lie would see him sometime in the future, he disappeared over the marsh, THE FOUR CORNERS 11 It was August before any further devel¬ opments took place. It was again mid¬ night on the marsh. A sound was heard approaching; it resembled the noise made when someone drags a large tin tub along a pavement. It was Mr. Driver still run¬ ning his old ear back and forth. Suddenly there was a noise like a pistol shot. An¬ other one! Was it a battle? It was only the tires on Mr. Driver’s front wheels. Almost immediately Satan appeared and gave a knowing leer in the direction of the front wheels. ALr. Driver, although a little startled by Satan’s sudden appearance, asked him if there wasn’t something he could do to rid him of his “abomination on wheels.” Old Nick thought a moment and then said, with very apparent indifference, “Well, if you were willing to smuggle a little dope now and then, perhaps I might be able to get you a brand new car.” Mr. Driver considered the proposal at length. However, his inner-self could not agree to these conditions so he reluctantly refused. Nothing daunted, Old Nick de¬ cided to try again. After a few moments’ silence and still more indifferently, he pro¬ posed a new and seemingly simple set of conditions. These must have been agree¬ able to Mr. Driver’s conscience, because he finished his journey in a new and speedy car. From that time on his driving, in compliance with all the conditions, was, literally and in fact, possessed of the Devil himself. He speeded; whenever the chance offered he crowded everyone else off the road into the ditch; when driving at night, he always kept his lights burning at their brightest so as to confuse the other drivers. Ho disregarded all the customs by which most decent motorists govern themselves. He even violated the laws when he safely could and it would cause discomfort to another. This state of affairs extended over a period of approximately two years. Soon after this length of time, however, Air. Driver, who was really not a wilfully evil man, began to look back into the years when he had been driving an old car and to remember how he had felt towards those who had driven by and crowded him. More powerful than these thoughts, how¬ ever, were those which pictured his life after his span of years on earth had elapsed. It did not take long for this line of thought to make him want to break his bargain with the Devil. He haunted the marsh for weeks, but without success; he caught not even a glimpse of the Old Boy. At last, however, he had an inspiration. One night lie stopped in the middle of the marsh and began to curse. The Devil ap¬ peared almost immediately so as not to miss a single word. Mr. Driver pleaded his cause, but in vain. The Devil was ada¬ mant Air. Driver must either continue as he had started or resign himself to roast forever in the eternal fires. This particular victim of the Devil, al¬ though heartily sick of his bargain, still preferred to breathe oxygen instead of brimstone, and so until this day Air. Driver, like many others who must have bargained with the Devil, is making him¬ self obnoxious to the general public, burn¬ ing up the road at high speed with no place to go. Donald Nowell, ’35. 18 THE FOUR CORNERS A TRUE STORY This little incident began on the day of the Hampden (Maine) battle, just about the time the British soldiers were march¬ ing along the highway toward Bangor, having left their gunboat at Rockland for the sailors to follow the rivers course. Word came by messengers that the British men were on their way, and women and children had better take to the woods for safety. My great, great grandmother, who lived across the river from Hampden, took all the money and silver that they owned and buried it in her vegetable garden, where it would be safe if their home should be pillaged and burned by the invading army. Somehow the soldiers were stopped at Hampden, which is a town about six or eight miles south of Bangor, and a battle was fought between the citizens of sur¬ rounding towns and the British soldiers. The British were defeated and sailed away down the Penobscot River. Meanwhile the silver and money re¬ mained in the garden for several days, apparently forgotten in the excitement of the battle. Great, great grandmother finally thought about it and went to dig up the valuables and replace them in the house, but though she dug all around the place, they were not to be found. When the family talked about it and wondered where the money and spoons could have gone, my great grandfather, who was then about five years old, said, “I know where your spoons are, and Fll show you the very place. ' 5 They followed him to another place in the garden, and there they found them all safe. It just goes to show that some children in the good old days could get into mis¬ chief. Virginia Bennett, ? 3G. MISTAKEN IDENTITY The following letter was received by Miss Lisctte Trewhella, residing in Scars- dale, New York: “Prout’s Neck, Maine, Feb. 5, 1934. Dear Lisette, While I was visiting in Scarsdale last January, I attended a drama given by a civic club and on the program saw your name. It, of course, aroused my interest, as I wondered if you might not be the one who had spent the summer of 1933 at Prout ' s Neck. When I saw you play your part in the drama, I was convinced it was you; so I was determined I would write to you. Remember the fun we had last summer ? Swimming and horseback riding in the morning, tennis and card parties in the afternoon, moonlight sails, parties and dances in the evening? My little De Soto that you thought so cute took a liking for a pole one afternoon not long ago and wrapped itself around it. Following this passionate plunge I was in the hospital for seven weeks. I guess I was at fault. I probably was dreaming of you and the many rides we had had to¬ gether in that car and now—no more, for it was of no use after the accident. THE FOUR CORNERS 19 Remember the night you left to return to school, you told me you would not give me vour address or tell me where you were going to he the following winter, and T told von somehow I ' d find you, well, see? — I did. Hope you will take this in a friendly way and answer, telling me your habits this winter and whether you’ll be coming to Front’s Neck this summer. Your friend, George Myer.” The following letter was returned: “Scarsdalc, New York, February 9, 1934. Dear George, Received your letter three days ago. I ' m writing to tell you that I am not the Lisette Trcwhella that you thought I was. I have never been any further north than Boston, Mass. It all sounds good and very exciting. Wish 1 had been the one. Sorry your car was wrecked, but I wasn’t to blame. Hoping you’ll find your true Lisette Trewhella, I am the unknown, Lisette Trewhella.” Jane King, ’34. FINDING SANTA CLAUS “John, will you stop that whining! Here I’ve been trying to get a job, and just after I’ve landed a good one, you begin that noise just because you’ve finally found out there isn’t a Santa Claus. Yes, and all that stuff about the spirit of St. Nicholas pervading all the Christmas ac¬ tivities is bunk, too. I guess you ought to be pretty glad there isn’t any Santa Claus, because if there were, I wouldn’t have any job now. You just run along and forget all this bunk about Santa. Yes, and John, tell your mother that she had better have a good supper ready for me tonight. If she doesn’t she’d better beat it before I get home!” With this abuse for his wife and child, Peter Stone left his home in the poorer section of the city and hurried to his new job as Santa Claus in one of the depart¬ ment stores uptown. It was the first job he had had since the “crash,” and while there should have been joy in his home, he was abusing his family, and his wife was very much afraid that he would take up his old habits of drinking and gambling in which he had previously indulged. Reporting for work, he was disguised as a perfect Santa Claus and sent out about the store to bring cheer and good will. If I should write here that he felt per¬ fectly at ease, I should be giving you a wrong impression of his character, for he firmly believed that he should “step” on his wife. Wasn’t that the only way to keep a woman once you got her ? Anyone could be polite enough when he was courting a girl, but when he got her, that was a differ¬ ent matter. Take Tom Jones, for instance, hadn’t he been nice and polite to Mirandv after their honeymoon, and where was she now? Home with her mother, of course, keeping company with another man. Therefore, though confident that most of his conduct was justified, he didn’t quite like this pretending to be what he wasn’t. Making his tour of the store and smiling graciously at everyone as he had been care¬ fully instructed to do, he found himself addressed by a pretty little girl who was accompanied by a governess. 20 THE FOUR CORNERS ‘‘Please, Mr. Santa,” the small child said, “I ' d like to thank you for the lovely toys you gave me last Christinas. I en¬ joyed the tricycle and imported doll and electric stove so much. Pd like a pony and a pony cart this Christmas. ou won t forget me, will you, Santa, please ( He reassured the child, wondering in the meantime how a child with all the riches that were easily recognized should enjoy this Santa Claus stuff. Slic ' d have all the toys she wanted, anyway. Just then he felt a timid touch on his arm and turn¬ ing, he saw a ragged little bov with a very dirty face. Touched more by this poor boy than by the daughter of the rich mer¬ chant, he spoke kindly to the child, al¬ most forgetting himself. “Please, Santa, 1 enjoyed all the things vou gave me last Christmas, ' specially the toy soldiers, but. please, this year I wish you wouldn ' t give me anything. My ‘pop ' is awfully sick. I say he ' s got a cold, but that doctor says he has ‘nemonia. 5 I just know hc ? s got an awful cold. If you ' d just make him well I ' d be satisfied. You will, won ' t you, Santa Claus ?” Encounters like this occupied the two weeks before Christmas for Peter Stone. Each day when he returned to his home he had learned some new lesson. His wife noticed a gradual change in his treatment of her and in return she did all she could for him. As Peter beg an realizing the true needs of harmony he became more and more ashamed of himself because his wife and son were so ready to forgive him for all his previous habits. But though his son was improving under the more tender care of his father, Peter found him crying himself to sleep many nights. Finally on Christmas Eve lie found out that he was still bewailing the fact that there was no Santa Claus. Peter immediately decided that he must do something, but what ? Finally he left the house and went uptown. Xext morning when John woke up and went downstairs, he found his stocking hanging by the fireside filled with toys! Where did they come from ' Who had put them there ' These questions and many others were surging in his mind. Finally the mystery was solved, for when Peter Stone appeared, he told his small son that though there really wasn ' t any Santa Claus, there really was “sort of the spirit of Santa Claus. That ' s what made every¬ one want to give and do things for other people in the Christmas season. Later he made his wife the best Christmas present of all: his promise that he would never act as he had previously done. Peter Stone had at last found the spirit of Christmas. Shiuley Knight, j 36. HAPPINESS One of the happiest people I know is he “who in the love of Xature holds com¬ munion with her visible forms”—he who is able to forget his work for a short period each day and enjoy the wonders of nature with which God has so bountifully sup¬ plied him. Whether a person be happy or sad, nature can usually lend a helping hand by giving “a smile and eloquence of beauty” to “L ' Allegro,” and to him who is less mirthful she glides into his thoughts “with a mild and healing sympathy.” 21 THE FOUR CORNERS The person who can read in his leisure time and enjoy not merely the common everyday reading but can willingly and eagerly sit down in a cozy corner and enjoy classical literature such as early myths, a novel of Dickens, or a Shakespearean drama, has found one of the many roads leading to happiness. The person who has an understanding and an appreciation of music, derives un¬ limited enjoyment and satisfaction from it. If he has had a trying day he will probably find pleasure in hearing a simple lullaby, or a similar composition, but if he has had a carefree day, he would be more likely to enjoy Bach’s or Beethoven’s works. Anyone that delights in either spending time out of doors, reading, hearing music, or seeing a worthwhile drama or picture, has some idea of true happiness. Etiielyx Pjxlsbury, ’34. THE SHIPWRECK “I wish mother would let us go out,” said Joan wistfully, as she and Jack flat¬ tened their noses against the window. “So do I,” said Jack, sighing. There was a sound of slow footsteps coming into the room. The two children turned and rushed forward, crying almost simultaneously, “Oh, tell us a story, Grampa!” “Wal, children, come here and sit in my lap,” said the old man, seating himself slowly. “What one d’you wan ter hear this time ?” “The one about the shipwreck.” “Wal, ’twas about sixty years ago when the ‘Sagamore’ went o n the rocks. ’Twas an awful stormy night an’ the snow ’as pilin ' up’s fast as it could. When we got up the next mornin’ the travel in’ was pretty bad an’ they could jest manage to get through the roads. The first we knew of the boat was when people began to come after milk an’ told us. My pa got his truck out an’ after awhile we got to Front’s Neck. We followed a path over the rocks an’ finally came to her. She set there on the rocks as pretty as though she’d been built there. They said she’d struck a rock an’ sprung a leak. When she came up on Front’s Neck the men on her didn’t know where they were—thought they were on Richmond’s Island and never knew the dif¬ ference till morning. They sent up rockets but nobody saw ’em ’twas so foggy. In the mornin’ a lady saw the boat from her house an’ notified the authorities. Wal, we stayed there awhile watchin’ her an’ then we went over to the other side of the Neck to watch the men who’d been on the boat. They got off the boat an’ went to a house an’ stayed. ’Long about noon a bus—” “The dog, Grampa! You forgot the dog!” “Heh ! Hell! Can’t fool you two kids a mite, can I? Wal, when the men got off the boat they forgot to take their dog with ’em. The man from the boat asked my pa if he’d take him up to the men. He coaxed and coaxed, but ’twant no use. That dog jest wouldn’t come. Finally, Fa went up an’ asked one of the men to come get him. The man went down an’ whistled an’ called, ‘Here, Bozo!’ an’ the dog jumped off an’ ran to him an’ began to lick his hand. He went back to the house with him. “We went home after that, but the cars 22 THE FOUR CORNERS kept goin’ all day an’ all that week to sec the wreck. ’Txmg about noon a bus went by carry in’ the men into Portland. Now, children, you ' d better go or your mother 11 be callin ' yer.” “Oh, no. Gram pa! You haven ' t told us anything al out the pirates looting the ship and the sheriff ' s coming.” “Wal, ’long about a month or two after—” “Children,” called a voice outside the door. They jumped hastily out of his la]). “Children, how many times have I told you not to bother your grandfather when he is resting.” “ ’Twan ' t no bother, Marion,” protested the old man. “I wasn ' t restin ' . Just let me finish the story for ’em.” But it was of no avail. “No, Father, you must have your rest. Xow, children, run upstairs and play like good little boys and girls.” Nellie Harmon, ’35. THE BROKEN MELODY The rain and fog had settled down over little old New York early; at five the glar¬ ing lights of Broadway had penetrated the mist, but in the side streets all was gloomy darkness. From the employees ' entrance of one of the large theatres, a stooped figure limped out into the rain. His frail shoulders stif¬ fened as the cold breeze passed through his clothes. One arm hugged close a violin case; the other clutched his collar, attempt¬ ing to pull the frayed edges together. The man hobbled down the unlighted street. His weakened limbs never once hesitated, for many times he had tramped the same route. As he turned a corner, another figure ap¬ peared in the lighted doorway, hut this figure, wholly unlike the other, stepped not into the wet street hut into a warm limou¬ sine which had drawn up beside the en¬ trance. The girl leaned forward, her ermine wrap hung low about her shoulders. “Miles, a man just came out here. Did you sec him ?” “Yes, ma ' am. He turned the corner toward Broadway.” “Find him. Miles.” “Yes, ma’am.” The chauffeur touched his cap respect¬ fully; the car shot away—two pencil-like streams of light piercing the darkness of early night. As it turned the corner, the lights of Broadway were visible at the ex¬ treme end; the figure was nowhere in sight. Suddenly he appeared from around a corner. He was tramping slowly now. The girl leaned forward. “Miles, stop the car.” “Yes, ma ' am.” As he drew up the brake for a stop, the girl emerged quickly from the car, leaving an amazed chauffeur looking after her. He smiled to see her touch tin 1 old man on the shoulder. As he turned, she said quickly, “Come with me.” The old man ' s face was turned toward her, but his eyes were unseeing, staring— the eyes of the blind. His voice, strong yet husky with sadness, said, “What would vou be wanting with an old man like me, Miss?” “I want you to play for me. I have a song to sing tonight. I may choose my own accompanist and I want a violin. You will play for me ?” THE FOUR CORNERS 23 The old man nodded his head. “Yes, I will play for you.” “Fine!” The girl’s face brightened. “But first you must come home with me.” “Why would you be wanting me to he coming to your home?” His blind eyes gazed at her questioninglv. “I must hear you play.” Her arm grasped his, and to the amaze¬ ment of passersby, she led the shabby old fellow to her car. As he felt the soft cush¬ ions under him and heard the purring of the powerful engine, he must have realized something of the quality of the girl beside him. “You are rich?” he asked. “People would say so,” she smiled. “Why do you ask an old man to play for you ?” “Because I have heard you play before —first, when I was a baby girl; again, as a woman. No other than Petrach shall play for Maria.” Her look was tender. “Don’t you know me?” “You are -?” The old man’s face brightened. “I am your daughter.” “Why did you tell me, Maria?” “So that you will play tonight with a fervor you have never felt before.” Maria’s words awakened morbid memo¬ ries for Petrach. His mind travelled back to days when he had been so very happy— twenty-five years ago. He saw his beautiful home, his adored wife, and a little daugh¬ ter who was now the famous singer, Maria. Then he had lost his sight, the theatre did not want a blind musician; so Petrach had sold his violin for thousands of dollars, he had left the money where his wife could Hud it, and had gone from his home to New York. His sensitive soul forbade that he should become a burden to those he loved. Years of work with small pay had been his reward—years of loneliness and long¬ ing and pain. Now, at last, there seemed a rift in the clouds, for he had been found by one who still loved him, his daughter Maria. “How did you know me, Maria? he questioned. Maria smiled. “Did you think I would not know my own father? Your name is on all the billboards. Maria remembers.” She pressed a kiss on his forehead, and added, “We are going home, Father, and tonight Petrach will again be famous.” How he played, dressed in the peasant garb of his own Ireland ! The tones of his violin swept the vast auditorium with the sweet voice of his daughter. But as the “Perfect Day” reached its closing strains, Petrach sank to the floor. He had played for Maria for the last time. His melody was broken. Many more times Maria sang the “Per¬ fect Day,” but no instrument ever again accompanied her. Bather, when she start¬ ed on the last verse, it was as though she heard Petrach’s violin swaying the curtain with the song which to her was named “The Broken Melody.” Boger Scamman, ’35. net’s (Hunter OLD PAPERS1DES (With Apologies to Holmes) Oh. give to me that little note. Long has it passed me by; And many an eye has glanced to see Which way it’s apt to fly. Beneath a book ’tis pushed about.

THE FOUR CORNERS 25 ENGLISH LITERATURE In English Lit we study prose, We study poetry, too; We study of the Normans bold. With eyes of azure blue. Now, Beowulf, that epic poem, Pictures a hero’s mighty deeds, And when it comes to studying it, Dictionaries are our greatest needs. The works of Chaucer require study. It takes up lots of time, And when the homework is complete, We’ve done about ten lines. The History of The Kings of Britain Is supposed to be quite true, But the question on the matter We leave entirely up to you. The works of Milton are hard to grasp, We study them day by day; The more we protest the more we get Of his poems and his plays. The plays of William Shakespeare Are considered among the best, Yet some of the characters in his plays We thoroughly detest. Bacon was called “The Philosopher,” He wrote exceptional work, But when it comes to reading it, We certainly like to shirk. The plays of Jonson give to us Views of Elizabethan age, And when we’ve read a few lines of them, We want to tear out the page. Sidney wrote “Arcadia,” It was famous in its day; A good passage is sometimes found in it, No matter what we may say. This little poem I write for you Is to give you some idea Of what we’ve done in English Lit j During the last school year. Lewis Chandler, ’34. CATHERINE HOWARD’S EXECUTION 26 THE FOUR CORNERS ! Came a maiden—oh, so fair— Crowned by glorious golden hair— Head, held high as if in scorn, Seemed to hide her anguish borne. Catherine Howard’s time had come. Frightful would it be to some. She who outward ’peared so brave— Feared she not the darkened grave? Hearts throb fast; her soul must fly. “Have you left me, God, to die?” Thought she, as her steps she turned. Heart within like Hell-lire burned. Swish of silk, as down the stair, Facing Henry in despair. Catherine’s eyes, like sapphires pure, Other men were wont to lure— Dimmed now with misty tears. Showed her many inward fears i As she glimpsed the fatal rock, With its all-destroying block. Horrified, they heard her scream, Then all quiet did she seem. Henry only sat and leered, To do what Satan would have feared. The guard moved on with offered arm, Mocking, sang a Christian Psalm. Proud she swept, her head held high— Uttered neither word nor sigh. One last glance, before she went To her death, with head down bent. Royal orders thus fulfilled; One more wife had Henry killed. Roger Scammas, ’35. BOYS’ OUTDOOR TRACK The Seventh Annual Track Meet was held at the Cumberland Fair Grounds last spring. A new policy was adopted by the schools in the Conference for the event. A field day was declared and all partici¬ pating schools declared holidays for the meet. Student bodies and faculties as well as athletic contestants were present. It was probably the greatest social gathering that the schools of the Conference ever held, making possible closer and friendlier relationships than ever before. There is no doubt that the field day was a success and will probably be developed in the future. Pennell Institute won the meet, amass¬ ing 38 points. Falmouth was second with 18 points, Freeport third with 1G. The results of the meet were as follows: 100-Yard Dash — Won by Tripp (Pennell); second, Wilkinson (Pennell); third, Harrington (Scarboro).

BASEBALL Baseball was revived in the spring of ' 31 in Scarboro after a period of ten years or more, principally as an experi¬ ment. Although it seemed to be fairly suc¬ cessful at first and fairly popular, there were several good reasons which caused us to drop it in ' 33 as a league sport. Chief among these was poor weather conditions during the spring school days. Cold, raw and oftentimes wet days seriously affect practice and playing conditions. This, of course, necessitates a short season as far as the schedule is concerned. These, coupled with the fact that baseball is far short of being a financially independent sport, have influenced us in favor of an independent (not league) schedule. This policy is to continue indefinitely. THE FOUR CORNERS 29 TOUCH FOOTBALL Cross-country during the last few years has been slowly receding in popularity in the Conference. As a substitute last. fall. Scarhoro, N. Yarmouth and Falmouth ex¬ perimented with Touch Football. The game contains all the fundamental princi¬ ples of football, including running, block¬ ing. passing, punting, ball carrying, etc., but excluding tackling. This, of course, does away with the dangerous part of the game yet leaves the fine points. The ex¬ clusion of tackling also eliminates costly equipment, making the game practical. Yc played two games last fall, winning one from N. Yarmouth Academy 7-0, and tying with Falmouth 7-7. Whether or not the game will become popular remains to be seen. GIRLS’ SWIMMING The second annual Triple C girls’ swim¬ ming meet was held at the Y. M. C. A. the evening of October 18, 1933. Cape Eliza¬ beth took the meet easily, scoring 21 points. New Gloucester and Falmouth tied for second place with 12 points. Wind¬ ham, Greely and North Yarmouth failed to score. Scarhoro also failed to score, whereas last year we placed second. Our team consisted of Ruth Jordan, ’34; Eleanor Storey, ’34 ; Dorothy Smith, ’34; Cora Webber, ’34; and June Malone, ’37.

THE FOUR CORNERS 33 BOYS ' BASKETBALL This year Mr. Hftllett. again assuni( (l the chit i( ' s of coaching the boys’ team. Among those who reported the first week in November wore lour veterans. This, of course, was to our advantage for it saved time in breaking in new men. We played three games before starting our league schedule. The first was with the Alumni, which we won by the score of 30 to 0. Our ne xt two were divided, Old Orchard win¬ ning on their floor 10 to 18, and Scarboro winning at home 38 to 32. There was more and higher class com¬ petition in the league this year than in the last several years. Yet, of the three league games that we lost, two were by one point and the other by four points, after two overtime periods. At the end of the season we found that we had tied with Yarmouth Academy for second place. It was necessary to play off in order to select the team entitled to go to the Gorham Normal Tourney. This game was played at Gorham Normal School and Scarboro came out on the large end of a 31 to 22 score. At the tournament it was our fortune (mis- or otherwise) to be paired with Berwick High School. They were favored to win the tourney, but after a very ex¬ citing game Scarboro came from behind to win 24 to 23. In the semi-final round we drew Gorham (eventually the tourney win¬ ners) and were beaten 18 to 15. Scarboro’s tourney play this year was almost identi¬ cal with that of two years ago, when we defeated Buxton, the favorites, only to be beaten in the semi-finals by Gorham.

THE FOUR CORNERS 35 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Our first basketball practice was held during the first week of November, with our principal, Air. Bcsscy, as coach. We lost but one member of last year’s team, therefore, we have had practically the same lineup, the veteran players being ( ' apt. Eleanor Storey, ’34; Edith McCul¬ lough, ’34; Dorothy Smith, ’34; Dorothy Plowman, ’34; Ruth Verrill, ’34; and Julia Ferguson, ’35. Our substitutes have been Ruth MacMillan, ’34; Lilly Douglas, ’34; Elizabeth Bennett, ’34; Jocelyn Shaw, ’36; Virginia Bennett, ’3G; and June Malone, ’37. The second team has consisted of Eliza¬ beth Moulton, ’35; Geraldine Emerson, ' 36; Lorraine Emerson, ’30; Marion Skill¬ ings, ’36; Frances Skillings, ’37; Virginia Sanford, ’37; and Arlene Winslow, ’37. Because there remains but one member of this year’s team, we are faced, as in the season 1031-32, with rather dismal pros¬ pects for the coming year. But, knowing the remaining girls to be willing workers, we feel that they will make a strong team. Our record this year has been far from perfect, as we won but two of the eight league games. We are proud to say, how-, ever, that we have not suffered very great defeats from our opponents.

Jordan, ’34 f THE SCHOOL PAPER PARTY A group of pupils sat talking in the office of the principal of Scarboro High School. They were discussing those who were present at the school paper party, which had been held the night before. “I had a good time at the party, didn’t you, Margy?” asked John. “Of course I had a good time. We all did, why shouldn’t we f ? teased Margv. “Now, Margv, don’t tease John ’ laughed Pat, “vou must remember he’s not well.” “All right. I’ll not tease him.” “Just see that you don’t,” chid George. “Now, let’s talk about the party.” “I enjoyed meeting the Pilot from Me¬ chanic Falls High School because he’s very literary and poetic ’ said Pat. “I enjoyed his company, too,” said John. “Did vou sec the Breeze from Milo?” “No, I didn’t see her, but I heard her. She was joking as usual. I like her very much,” answered Margv. “She’s a peach!” exclaimed George. “Now, George, don’t get so excited,” scolded Pat. “I can’t help it because she really is very nice. She’s humorous and poetic and lit¬ erary and, well, very interesting.” “The Red and White from Sanford is certainly newsy, isn’t he?” remarked John. “Yes, he is. I saw the Crest from Fal¬ mouth. I like her. She is very easy to be¬ come acquainted with. We talked about school and she told me all about their school activities. She’s poetic, too,” said Margy. 38 THE FOUR CORNERS “The Grech Annual was there. He told us some interesting stories that the pupils of Greely Institute had written. He would improve his personality, however, if he would joke a little more ’ said Pat. “The Signet from Dexter is interesting. She certainly appreciates good literature and jokes put in John. “The Crescent from Buxton is very en¬ tertaining. too. The Pinnacle from Mere¬ dith. Xew Hampshire, was quite interest¬ ing and amusing, but would be more enjoved if she had a sense of humor ' said Pat. u You know, I liked the Garnet from Richmond. She kept us laughing all the evening with her jokes, but she ' s not as poetic and literary as the Amaracus from Monmouth 5 said George. “Yes, I like both the Garnet and the Amaracus. The Caduceus from Xorway has all the features that it takes to be in¬ teresting, entertaining, well-liked and pop¬ ular, said Margy. “I liked the Northland from Wash¬ burn. Her custom of telling an occasional joke to brighten things up is pleasing, said Pat. “We certainly did have a good time, beamed Paul, and as he said this the door opened and in walked the principal. “What ' s the matter here? he asked. “Why 5 explained John, who was a dip- lomat, “we were sent out of class for not knowing our lesson 5 “Didn ' t you have time to study them ? 55 he questioned. “Well, you see, there was a school paper party last night 5 “A school paper party ? You are all excused because I think that a school paper party brings one closer to other schools 5 replied the principal and the group of pu¬ pils went out of the office door with light hearts and happy faces.
